I don't have an eating disorder but I gained 10lbs after working at Starbucks. I think it happens to most people aside from the unicorns who can stay slim no matter what they eat.

I feel less bad when I know our extra food is trying to go to the food share. I have been working on having an appetite consistently.

Oh yes, me too. I’ve gained about 10 pounds since I started. I feel terrible. I’ve been able to, somewhat completely, cut out all drinks and only have water, but the pastries are what get me. Sometimes the breakfast sandwiches like the sausage or impossible, but I can usually stay away from those.

i am addicted to the sugary stuff in this store, but i personally find that if i go a few days forcing myself to eat less sugar, it becomes less appealing and other food starts to taste better (plain coffee with altmilk and teas seem to have more flavor) \[similar to my experience trying to go vegan, i can taste eggy/cheesy tastes in things like the pastries a lot more when im not eating eggs and cheese often\].

if i can be so forward as to suggest ideas, r/intermittentfasting and r/fasting might be options. there are such arguments that "feast and famine" is a more natural way humans evolved to eat. similar to r/omad r/omadisplenty .

its more difficult, but trying to reduce the amount of sugar instead of cutting it completely, like still wanting the seasonal drinks but getting way less pumps of the syrups, to still get the flavor.
